Patricia established Wrong Side of the Road in 2005, following her final year of studies at Uni SA. Her thesis explored the topic of roadkill on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, with particular emphasis on the influence of tourism and the possible adverse effects of roadkill on goanna and other species.

Although roadkill is distasteful to most people, it remains a reality of the modern Australian environment. Patricia seeks to bridge the divide between art and science; her passion remains to establish a synergy between wildlife conservation, creative art (in a variety of media) and the unusual topic of roadkill, rather than ignore it!

Dr. Tim is a rural and remote GP on Kangaroo Island, with a passion for emergency medicine and trauma. With National research showing that around 1 in 5 country vehicle collisions involve an animal, it is only natural that he is concerned. Tim’s research was recently recognised at ‘Trauma 2007’, the annual scientific meeting of the Australasian Trauma Society, where his presentation ‘Recipes from Disaster - a novel approach to mitigate wildlife-vehicle collisions on Kangaroo Island’ received the annual prize for best paper. Dr. Tim is keen to encourage drivers to SLOW DOWN and ENJOY THE WILDLIFE, rather than risk a collision or worse still to swerve and suffer a rollover.
